Keith Olberman, I LOVE YOU (cribbed from DKos)

[realcountrymusic]

Earlier I saw a few "WTF" posts wondering why KO had scored it a technical draw. Fear not. As many suspected, he came around in the end. Read to the end. The last line is WAY funny. He may be Playgirl's sexiest anchor to women, but I'm developing a bit of a platonic crush on this man. The one true voice in the mainstream media wilderness!

"TIMBER UPDATE"

"The Scorer's Table, having taken two hours to let the Blogosphere complete its due diligence (and to permit the scorer to retreat to a corner of the room, don cold compresses, and moan quietly), can now quote the truth from "Factcheck.Org": "President Bush himself would have qualified as a 'small business owner' under the Republican definition, based on his 2001 federal income tax returns. He reported $84 of business income from his part ownership of a timber-growing enterprise." Brooks Jackson's marvelous site noted that the timber interest was listed under "royalties" in his 2002 and 2003 returns, indicating The Texas Thunderbolt still has an interest in said concern.

The point awarded to Mr. Bush in the thirteenth round is hereby withdrawn and awarded to Mr. Kerry, for the latter's enterprising hoisting of his opponent on said opponent's own petard.

Mr. Bush is also penalized three points for a truth foul.
Mr. Bush is further penalized two points for getting snarky while in the act of being factually incorrect.

The thirteenth round, originally scored 2-0 for Mr. Bush, now reverts to a 1-1 draw, and the rounds awarded total now changes from 12 Kerry, 4 Bush, 3 Drawn, to 12 Kerry, 3 Bush, 4 Drawn.

The final points scoring is now adjusted from Kerry 15, Bush 12, to Kerry 16, Bush 6.  The Scorer thus designates the outcome as a Kerry victory outside the margin for statistical error.

The scorer's table reproaches President Bush for not knowing when he has wood."


BWAHAHAHAHAH!

6. Laura Knows When Bush Has Wood...

That's when she gets out her tweezers and magnifying glass....

7. great

Olberman is one of the greatest primetime talking heads. He's accurate, witty, and always on target. He's one of the few people who had the courage to report the OB/GYN "Love" remark the first night. Other stations picked it up after Olberman had his laughs.

8. That last line is hilarious

I don't generally watch Keith's show, but I may have to start.

9. Funny!

I love his wit.

This line is great too!
Mr. Bush is further penalized two points for getting snarky while in the act of being factually incorrect. Hehe. Go, Keith!

10. Ironic isn't it?

Bush and Cheney's best debate moments came when they dramatically presented personal affirmations that turned out to be easily disprovable lies.

Cheney: "The first time we met was when we shook hands on this stage."

Bush: "What Me own a lumber business. Anybody want some wood."

Kudos to Keith Olberman, the best newsguy on cable and to factcheck.org. Alot of times I wince when they catch our guys in a misstatement but they've been doing a great job of keeping everybody honest.
